Özet:

With the emergence of children's literature as a literary genre, narrative-based genres such as fairy tales, mani, lullabies, folk tales, legends and epics in folk literature have taken their place in children's literature by reconsidering them. While contemporary children's literature writers reinterpreted almost every genre, lullabies and lullaby-style poems were written in the literary style. Children's literature products contribute to the development of children's language and ideas and prepare them for the future life. Within these species, lullabies have a special place of their own. Because in almost every language and culture, either anonymous lullabies or later literary lullabies are sung to put children to sleep in infancy. Lullabies listened to by children of dairy age constitute the first step in teaching the mother tongue and acquiring listening skills. In modern times, the replacement of oral culture products with digital tools in children's mother tongue acquisition has drawbacks both in terms of culture transfer and cognitive development of children. In this respect, it is important to keep alive lullabies, which are one of our oral culture products, in order to transfer cultural codes to new generations and to support children's language and thought development. In this study, the importance of lullabies as a means of raising national consciousness will be emphasized. In this context, the language and narrative characteristics of the lullabies sung by the Kosovo Turks in the cities of Prizren and Gilan will be emphasized.
